Not only the sporting performance of Boca
's men's First Division
represents a
headache
for president
Juan Román Riquelme
.
The move of its first location in that hierarchical position also had an unexpected problem late this Monday, when the
Ministry of Security of the City of Buenos Aires
announced the removal
of 4,000 places
in the capacity allowed to receive Sarmiento de Junín, next Thursday at the San Lorenzo stadium.
As the La Bombonera grass is not in optimal condition due to the presence of the election tents for three weeks in December, the Football Council and the coaching staff headed by Diego Martínez agreed to play at the Nuevo Gasómetro, at least, the second date of the Professional League Cup.

"it was agreed with the Boca Juniors Club to create a filter for the acquisition of tickets, as happened in other opportunities

For this reason, those people who do not comply with the filter established by Club Boca Juniors should not attend since they will not be allowed to reach the stadium.
